Re: Dissapointed
Probably that's the MSRP for XP Pro. If you do a google search for 'buy windows xp' one of the first hits is a place selling XP Pro (full) for $55 (+shipping). I think even MSRP for XP Home is only about $130 and you can get it for less than $100 .Originally posted by signa View PostComment

Re: Dissapointed
Actually Punkbuster was updated so you shouldn't need to run the game as Administrator anymore. I know I did at first but now it works fine without it.Comment

Re: Dissapointed
You just need to install Punkbuster services as administrator, then it should run on any account type.Comment

Re: Dissapointed
Better Idea is Control Panel>User Accounts> Turn User Account Control Off. Makes Vista life way easier.Comment
